How about he leaves and joins the Tigers...and then turns into the next Baez!
-
Keith supposedly has a lot of power. Hopefully, it shows up eventually now that he seems to be figuring out making good contact versus MLB pitching.
-
He's got a .350 OBP.
-
They also added Flaherty, Canha and Chafin. Maeda too, although he hasn't helped so far.
-
I didn't say he failed to challenge lies. I said he's a poor communicator.
-
330 million people in America and they can't find someone who challenges lies and communicates well at the same time? Obama would destroy psychopath moron Trump. They haven't found anybody close to him as a candidate in 12 years.
-
I know you have repeatedly said that Torkelson was the right pick, but you also seem to be blaming Torkelson's failure om Avila, so it's a bit confusing.
-
I know this is a joke, but I don't think that Leyland would have wanted anything to do with tobacco advertising. It's a choice he made for himself, but I think he is an honorable person who would not have wanted to promote tobacco to young people.
-
It's more a response to Buddah, but you have said that Avila was incompetent.
-
Replacing him with someone who communicates better might have helped a little and very small percents are all we need to potentially change an election result. I have been told that the system makes it really difficult to get different candidates even if they are bad ones, so I'm not suggesting it would have been easy or even practical.
-
The way that the Torkelson pick can be spun as an incompetent move. Hindsight.
-
He is a good GM, but the pattern is familiar - one of the highest payrolls in MLB and no dominant closer. The next step will be to gut the farm system. He does have great teams everywhere he goes though. He does what he is hired to do even if it might hurt after he leaves.
-
What do you think of the Tarik Skubal draft pick?
-
I don't usually pay much attention to the third wild card until late in the season, because it's kind of lame...but the Tigers are only one game out of the playoffs.
-
Some of those players will fail and that will be Avila's fault. Some will succeed. That will be because of Harris. 😃
-
It won't matter because a lot of his supporters probably think it's OK to rape your wife.
-
Ted Williams also had a better year than DiMaggio, but DiMaggio won the MVP. Williams batted .406 in 1941 and won the Triple Crown in 1942 and didn't get the MVP either year.
-
I don't blame either one or they can share the blame for not develping him. Harris's job now is to figure how much time to give him and then find a replacement if Tork can't figure it out. Neither one of those decisuons would involve Avila.
-
As you have said before, who else should they have picked that year? Are you blaming Avila for choosing a consensus #1.
-
Any time you see an American flag next to a name on twitter, you know it's an asshole. It's terrible how these creeps have tarnished our flag.
-
They don't bore me like some past teams. They can be frustrating, but they have been in almost every game.
-
It's not that I blame Harris. It's that I no longer think Avila is responsible. Avila was not a good GM, but he did leave Harris quite a few pieces with which to work. If he can't get it to work, that's on him. I am not really disappointed with their progress this year so far, but I want to see further progress with young hitters through the end of the year.
-
Baez is really the only problematic piece left. Other than that, it's up to Harris going forward and it shouldn't take a few years like Buddah suggested. Harris has a chance to get them in contention by next year. If he doesn't make progress by then, it's on him, not Avila.
-
It's already gone for the most part . Several of his acquisitions are contributing this season and Harris has a new system in place which hopefully will take them to a new level. I don't think they are that far away from contending.
-
I just came to post that.
